How British actors and cinematographers can season a mediocre script.

Reviewed in the United States on January 28, 2013

Verified Purchase

For those of us who cannot get enough of this era of film-making, or of the English of yore, or the impeccable acting talents of British actors, this movie works its magic. As a script, it is a reworking of so many in which a man finds himself facing a jury after a series of mishaps. At the dénouement, the viewer is left to reason for himself what happens because the concluding few minutes of the storyline are a complete muddle. Even the newspaper headline, which is supposed to enlighten the viewer, is cut off at the right-hand side where the operative words are printed. The title is no less abstruse than the ending and can only be guessed by applying a metaphor of one's choosing. For this confusion and for all its ordinariness, the noir-style photography, the acting, the brisk pace of it all, makes the film an enjoyable treat.

Great Movie!

Reviewed in the United States on February 15, 2017

Verified Purchase

Although I'm a classic movie buff, I didn't remember this movie by title, but remembered seeing it years ago only once. The title threw me off, and I didn't really see it as fitting the plot at all. Nonetheless, I truly enjoyed watching this movie and recommend it to others who appreciate great classics featuring great actors such as Rex Harrison. I'd now like to add it to my enormous collection of B/W classics. Would you please offer the rental of "Miracle in the Rain," featuring Van Johnson and Jane Wyman?

Good in Places, but Uneven

Reviewed in the United States on October 10, 2015

A rather atmospheric and well-acted movie with some charms, some real bite. BUT it is
very dark, and sometimes the direction was badly paced, and awkward. Altogether not
a bad "evening quick watch" but not one of Rex Harrison's best. Very good Lili Palmer
I must say. . . given the material she had to work with, uneven.

Good Old Scary Movie

Reviewed in the United States on August 17, 2015

We seniors can't really connect with some of the modern movies, so I have gone back in time to locate the old black and white movies with our favorite stars. Most of the stories were simple but that is what we liked for entertainment. I will watch any movie with Rex Harrison in it because I know it will be good.

‘Stand by Your Man‘

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 13, 2017

Verified Purchase

Certainly no ‘B movie’, with a top cast and crew, adapted by Nunnelly Johnson, no less, a top Hollywood screenwriter, from an Edgar
Lustgarten novel (though I sorely missed his narration), and photographed by the renounced Wilkie Collins, a man of many talents, who also wrote celebrated novels in his spare time. (I jest, Wilkie Cooper.)

Nearly didn’t buy it as I thought it was an out-and-out horror film (not really my cup of tea) but it’s really a psychological nightmare film
and noirish which is very much my tasse du the.

There’s a glaring jump-cut at 16:13, very much a no-no before Godard, possibly caused by the non-insertion of a point-of-view or
reverse angle shot. Both puzzling and suprising, as the absolute professionalism of British editors would never usually countanance such a grave error, unless deliberate. They must have either lost or forgotten to shoot the insert.

I’m very suspicious of a joint director credit - unless a long-running team - especially when it includes the producer, The presence of the producer’s name usually raises alarm bells since, as a rule, producers can seldom, if ever, really direct, in the true sense of the term. Directors who become producers to control their career are a bit different. The same warning usually applies to writers who direct to quite understandably retain control. Writers more often become producers and wisely employ a professional to direct. People are very seldom as equally talented in several roles. Naturally, rare exceptions exist. Even Orson, Wells employed a writer, even if he then later tried to take most, if not all, of the credit.

Was that Jill Bennett in the opening seconds, in a non-speaking, but screaming, walk on part, or did my eyes deceive me? Hard to mention without being “a spoiler.”

I felt that Rex Harrison was a bit miscast and disappointed that he didn’t sing once (or, more accurately, speak to music) or even converse with any animals. I felt thoroughly short-changed.
Lilli Palmer is much better, as the faithful wife, and even the old trick of making her wear spectacles can never hope to make her look homely and plain.
She accepts a lift from a stranger and even invites him in for tea, without anyone else present, something a lady of the period and social class would never do.
There is a very good extensive Old Bailey set that thoroughly convince as real locations. Surely it couldn’t have been.

Rather crude and over-insistent (excessive volume in the mix?) music from the usually very good Cyril Frankel.
No sign of a solicitor during the questioning, giving it the air of a Police State. Perhaps it was like that then, before certain needed reforms were implemented? I’m sure an expert like Lustgarten would have got the proceedure right in the book but I wondered if the American adaptor took a few liberties.
A lovely eerie shot of the killer’s face dissolving, superimposed over a glistening, wet night street.

Lovely, very brief asides, like a solo Greek chorus, from Colin Gordon (I think) as a drunken, cynical reporter.

Not quite up to Merton Park standards but in the meantime it’ll do to be going on with.

Didn’t understand Rex’s worry about the affair as he and Lilli enjoyed a non-exclusive, ‘open’, ‘civilized’ marriage, during which both ‘played away’.

I will ignore the plot as it’s usually only one of the least interesting elements of (this type of) film. Suffice to say that it’s a ‘Wrong Man’ scenario only, unlike Hitchcock we are shown the culpret from the outset. There’s a minor, but nevertheless, irritating framing device, involving an American writer, to hopefully interest the cousins.

There’s a complex and sad baddie which leads to a quite wonderful turn of events at the hour mark and raises the film several notches into something well above the ordinary and really quite special.

It’s probably irrelevant but I wondered if Claude Chabrol had seen and been influenced by, either the book or film, as it reminded me in some ways of his utterly sublime, ‘Le Boucher’, and even, in certain aspects, Leo Marks’ and Michael Powell’s ‘Peeping Tom’ There is really no higher praise in my book.
If Hitchcock had directed it, it would have been an unqualified masterpiece, but he didn’t and indeed made his own inferior (for him) documentary Bressonian version with Henry Fonda and Vera Miles.

Überraschend gut!

Reviewed in Germany on December 29, 2018

Verified Purchase

Rex Harrison meinte in späteren Jahren, dass "The Long Dark Hall" sein schlechtester Film sei. Vermutlich, weil er Harrisons eigener Lebensrealität zu nahe kam? Es geht immerhin um einen Mann, der seine Frau (gespielt von Harrisons real-life-Gattin Lilli Palmer) betrügt. Dann wird die Geliebte von einem Irren (Anthony Dawson) ermordet und Rex gerät unter Mordverdacht. In den 1940ern trieb Harrison, der damals schon mit Palmer verheiratet war, das Hollywood-Starlet Carol Landis in den Selbstmord (1980 wurde Rachel Roberts ein weiteres Opfer von "Sexy Rexy") und ruinierte damit sowohl seine eigene Karriere als auch die seiner Frau, die tapfer zu ihm gehalten hatte. Erst Jahre später konnte er sich als Filmstar rehabilitieren. In "The Long Dark Hall" hält die Ehefrau auch brav zu ihrem Mann. Dieser schön fotografierte Brit Noir hat einen gelungenen Spannungsaufbau und punktet mit unerwartet guten Schauspielerleistungen. Einen Punkt ziehe ich ab für das hanebüchende Ende und die damit verbundene Botschaft. Alles in allem aber ein sehr empfehlenswerter Film!

I think this was a misfit for Rex but his wife is splendid (real life wife and wife in the film). The villain is also excellent. Slow start to this movie, but stick with it.
